Sophomore libero Molly Landers turned in some outstanding defensive play in helping the Eagles to a 3-1 record at the Emory National Invitational. The 5-foot-5 Landers averaged a team-high 4.79 digs per set that played a key role in Emory’s four opponents mustering just a .053 hitting percentage over the weekend.  In the opening match of the Invitational, she led all players with 21 digs, tying her second-highest career mark, in a 3-0 victory over Washington & Lee.  She followed that performance with a match-best 16 digs in a 3-0 triumph over No. 12 Juniata.  In the final match of the weekend, she totaled 18 digs in a five-set battle vs. Lee University. 

Through 35 matches, she tops the team with a 3.74 digs-per-set average with her total of 438 digs ranking fourth on the school’s seasonal ladder.
